This is the follow-up study of the author’s previous study ‘Developing the Evaluation tool for Smartphone Apps for English Teaching and Learning’ In the study, an evaluation tool was designed to evaluate application programs for English teaching and learning for smartphones. The purpose of this study is to improve the tool for evaluating application programs (apps) developed for English teaching and learning for smartphones by testing the evaluation tool. In order to test the tool, 5 student users participated in using the tool to evaluate English studying apps after studying the apps for more than a month. In addition, 5 professionals also participated to test the tool. According to the participants’ suggestions in the above user groups and expert groups, the evaluation tool was revised. There were some items to be removed for the convenience of general public use. And there were some items to be modified for more accurate evaluation. Finally, quantification of the result was suggested for more convenient comparison among English studying apps. The improved evaluation tool can be used usefully by the English learners who wants to find out which English studying apps are suitable for them.
